Items which can be updated (but have not yet been downloaded or queued for download)
will act as if the user selected "Ignore this update" from the app details view.
Items which represent app statuses (e.g. downloading, downloaded ready to install,
installed ready to run) will have the status removed. If required, we will also
forget that they are ready to install, so they wont be there next time.
Untested because there are no apps in current repos which exhibit this
behaviour which have newer versions. Right now I'm testing with com.waze
from testy.at.or.at which only has the one version.
I'm also unsure of how important this is seeing as most the time it will
prompt people to update anyway.
This is in the spirit of the setting, where users can see which apks are
available even though they are not installable.
Adds a message explaining why it is incompatible (i.e. because the
signature doesn't match the installed version).
This is not really a useful way to tell the user that the index might be
out of date. It just adds confusion and makes people think that F-Droid
isn't quite smart enough to know what's going on.
* This installer is invoked when for non-apk/media files, and
copies them to an appropriate folder on the sdcard.
* We also introduce a FileInstallerActivity to ask for storage
permissions at runtime, as needed by Android 6.0 and above,
and handle the install/uninstall process.
* A toast is shown with the install path after installation.
TODO:
* Manage Installed Apps screen doesn't show media files.
Reuses the "commiting" message to indicate how many apps have been
processed so far.
Refactors existing progress handling between `RepoUpdater` and
`UpdateService` to use `LocalBroadcastManager` in preference to
`ProgressListener`. Still needs to use `ProgressListener` to talk
between `RepoUpdater` and the `Downloader` +
`ProgressBufferedInputStream`.
The only change that is related to something more important than
notifications is the fact that now `IndexV1Updater` makes use of the
`indexUrl`. To do so, because it is final, the base class constructor
delegates to `getIndexUrl()` which is overriden by the v1 updater.
This is required because we want to differentiate between broadcasts
coming from different repo update processes.
Fixes#1054.
If the client fails due to some bug in handling index-v1.jar, then it will
be totally stuck, even if index.jar would have worked. This creates a new,
temporary "expert" preference to force the client only use the old XML
index file. Worst comes to worst, we can tell people to enable this to
upgrade.
Once everything proves stable, we can remove this.
This started with the work of @kingu, it cleans up some of the language,
including:
* upgrade --> update
* application --> app
* internet --> Internet

Also, make sure to correctly update the app details view when te user
leaves then returns to the view. Prior to this, the user would need to
wait for a download event to be received. However even that was broken,
because the download listener was not being added correctly once the
user returned to the app details screen.
Lots of languages really need the <plurals> tags to make sense, so
this also makes lint exit with an error when it finds strings that
should be <plurals>
closes#883
This makes the license a link to the spdx.org page for the app's
license. I think this is an improvement over the way the license was
displayed before 0.103 since it provides a direct link to the actual
text of the license.
The license icon is a modified version of the public domain icon:

<plurals> handles the grammar needed for numbers/quantities in various
languages. Like in a number of slavic languages, numbers ending in 0,
1 or others have separate grammar. In English, there is just 1 and
then all the rest (0 days, 2 days, 3 days, etc). <plurals> does not
handle multiple strings for different quantities, like having a
different string for each number case. For that, we have to do it in
Java and have multiple <strings>

Now that we've moved the first screen to "Latest", we always want to do
our best to show something there. This preference is pretty redundant in
light of this.
The text is more comprehensive on the main screen than on categories,
because this is the view that all users will see when they first open
F-Droid.
Fixes#879.
Left some more unused strings which are a bit more general purpose and
perhaps should wait until after a stable release to remove. The
rationale for this is that we may want to revert to part of the old
terminology in certain places, and don't want to have to ask everyone to
translate everything again.
These are loaded dynamically at runtime based on a sanitized version
of the category names. Thus, the static lint tool cannot pick up that
they are indeed used.
This notification is kind of weird, because the only ways it can be
dismissed is by:
* Swiping a notification away from the notification drawer.
* Closing and reopening F-Droid.
However I think the UX is still pretty nice:
* Tells the user that it worked.
* Allows them to navigate to it if desired.
The previous language hinted at the fact we auto download and install
updates like Google Play. This is not the case (unless you have
priv-ext). To clarify, now we "Automatically _fetch_ updates", ready to
install when the user initiates the install.
Fixes#839.
Alows for more flexibility in what we are able to display, including:
* Prompting users to donate to frequently updated apps
* Showing messages from package maintainers to users
* Marking apps for later installation when offline
Most of these are not yet implemented, but will be able to when
required, whereas they were not able to in the previous UI.
This is as per the mockup in issue #840, and does the following:
* Adds a new `PreferencesCategory` of "My Apps" at the top of the
preferences screen.
* Adds a "Manage Installed Apps" preference, and moves the
"Repositories" preference into this category.
* Repeals an existing change which prevented "updateable" apps from
appearing in the list of "installed" apps. This is because the two
lists of apps are no longer displayed alongside eachother.
* Enhances the `AppListItemController` to also be able to display
whether or not the currently installed version is the recommended
version or not.
* Also adds option to display whether the user has asked to ignore any
updates for any specific apps.
Things that are still not right:
* BottomNavigationView doesn't read out the title of items when selected.

* TTS reader combines the app name and summary without a pause which is jarring.
* Touching the background of the recycler view in the categories view reads all category names.
* Likely other problems too.
